Logan Paul, the famous YouTuber and entrepreneur, recently made waves by saying a rare Pokemon card beats most traditional investments for trustworthiness[1]. He dropped this take on Fox Business’s “The Big Money Show,” pushing young investors to think beyond stocks and houses[1].
Paul knows Pokemon cards up close. Back in 2022, he shelled out $5.3 million for a PSA Grade 9 Pikachu Illustrator card, snagging the Guinness World Record for the priciest Pokemon card ever sold[1]. He even wore it on a $75,000 chain around his neck after his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather[1]. Now, he plans to auction it off in early 2026, betting he’ll get his money back and more[1].
Why trust this card over other assets? Paul calls it the rarest and most valuable in the world, with just one copy out there at the top PSA grade[1]. He sticks to “the best of the best” items that have super limited supply, warning that not every collectible holds value forever[1]. For Pokemon fans eyeing prices on sites like PokemonPricing.com, Paul’s move shows how top-tier cards like this Pikachu can act like a solid store of value.
Paul’s background adds cred. From YouTube stardom with brother Jake to WWE wrestling, podcasting, and co-founding the Prime energy drink, he treats high-end Pokemon cards as smart plays in his portfolio[1]. If you’re tracking card prices, keep an eye on auctions for cards with perfect rarity and grading, just like Paul’s gem.
